Early Anniversary surprise

This weekend (actually July 20th) is our wedding anniversary - can't believe it's been 6 years already! Before that, we dated for 5 years so we've been together for 11 years which has flown by. I was plopped on the couch today catching up on an episode of Criminal Minds when the doorbell rang. My sneaky super sweet husband surprised me early for our anniversary by having flowers delivered. It was 6 dozen red roses (my favorite) - one dozen for each year we have been married. You can see why I love this guy? Sorry for the mushy, I love my husband lines...but I honestly am one of the luckiest girls alive. He is my other half, my best friend, and the person I was truly meant to be with. What made this even sweeter was the fact that he surprised me and had them delivered during the day, while he was at work. First of all he knows I go nuts to get a package - I get so excited seeing delivery trucks come to our house. Second, he knows I get bored and a little lonely on days when I'm home by myself and he's at work in the time I've been on bedrest. This way - it was a little surprise to brighten up the part of the day I would appreciate it the most! Since I took the flowers apart to put them in a few vases - I took a couple of pictures so he could see how they came. (I took it myself - so don't mind my arm in the photo. I really need to teach my dog how to take photos, that would be so convienent these days!)


My dog always loves deliveries as well. She just had to check stuff out and get in on the action.

This weekend my husband and I will probably try to eat from another new restaurant nearby for our anniversary. Since I'm stuck at home and we don't do much these days - we've been trying to make a habit of trying a bunch of new restaurants for fun. Most have been great - so tomorrow night we'll try another new one for our anniversary. He might try to take apart the furniture in our spare bedroom, which will eventually become the nursery. Yikes! Things will actually start moving along then I think. My mom and grandma are dying to order this bassinet for us - so I think I may actually have our very first thing ordered for the baby.

I know technically you don't need a bassinet, but since our bedroom is on the second floor (we have a bungalow) and the nursery will be on the first - I'm sure it'll be nice for us all to be upstairs at first. More importantly, I have learned over the years never to stand in the way of my mom and grandma when they are determined to do or buy something. So if they are intent on buying us a new bassinet - I will gladly allow them to do so. It's something that they both said would make them very happy - how do you argue with that? (As a side note, this is the same grandma who is almost 90 that I wrote my fourth of July post about - love you grandma!)

My dog has been funny lately when we sleep together on the couch. She used to sleep down by my feet and slowly has been making her way up higher to get closer and closer to me. Often now, I find we actually sleep cheek to cheek! It's actually kind of relaxing - and although we aren't cheek to cheek here, she's pretty close. My husband caught this one of us yesterday night when we were sleeping on the couch.

Well, I'll try to update this weekend and not let as many days go between posts - and also throw in a lopsided picture if I can catch a good one. But if you have a chance go give Mel a hug - she's had some bumps in the pregnancy and they put her on rest until she sees her doc again on Monday. I remember from a couple months ago how darn scary that can be, so go keep her company and good thoughts to help her stay positive. JJ is still resting it up as well, and I'm sure could use a hug or two herself. Heck - go give all the bedrest girls (from L & F) a little hello if you get a chance - you have no idea how much it brightens your day to get a hello and a nice comment when you're bunkered up at home. I know how much I appreciate them, and I'm sure they all will as well. So thanks for spreading some sunshine - kindness is contagious!
